At Ryman Arts, our students are artistically gifted, ambitious, and motivated. Through the program, we see them grow as artists, as people, and many times are fortunate enough to learn of their stories. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and learn about Joseph Lee, Ryman Arts 2016 alumnus.

A core component of Ryman Arts is of course drawing, particularly from observation. As you can see in the exhibition now on view at Maker City LA, Ryman Arts artists can rock it. They’ve got talent, but more than that they put in hours of practice to hone that talent and sharpen those skills; and perhaps surprisingly, frequently have to overcome a lot of self-doubt along the way.
